Athleisure brands continue to stand out with pieces that are as comfortable (think stretchy, soft and breathable) as they are trendy. Think of it like wearing your comfiest yoga pants without looking as though you’ve just hopped off your at-home fitness equipment. You don’t have to burn a hole in your wallet to invest in the style either — there is practically an endless amount of online retailers that offer athleisure for a range of budgets and aesthetics.

What Is An Athleisure Brand?

As the name suggests, athleisure brands refers to clothing brands that make pieces combing athletic wear and leisure wear. The best athleisure brands combine the movement and functionality of sportswear with the style and trendiness of everyday apparel such as T-shirts, trousers, bodysuits and more. Rather than feeling restricted and uncomfortable, these styles usually use materials from sportswear styles to create a look that will move with you without sacrificing style.

Athleisure brands have even made popular athletic apparel trendy enough to show off everyday, including the classic tennis skirt. What sets it apart from traditional sportswear is its versatility — meaning your outfit can go from the couch to brunch or the gym to work without having to pack an additional outfit.
